Reviews
I’ve made a lot of Aida’s recipes and this is the only one of only two that I won’t make again. It was too thick. And I know that traditional hot chocolates are thick but this one wasn’t a good thick. It seemed heavy instead of feeling like melted chocolate. Adding a little extra milk helped but it was only an improvement and not a fix.
If you do add the chambord, I found that there’s a 3 Tbsp size available at my local liquor store that worked well for this recipe.
This is by far the best hot chocolate I have ever had!!! It is so rich and decadent. Chocolate Lover’s Delight. It is thick and has an unexpected kick with the raspberry liquor. I will only use this cocoa recipe now. Thanks Aida, this recipe is amazing!
This is the best recipe – finally what I thought hot chocolate is supposed to taste like. Rich, decadent and chocolate-y. I made it without the raspberry liqour and it was still chocolate heaven. Thanks, Aida!
This is the best. It’s very rich and creamy keep up the good work
